Coupons

Ok I've now found a new web page obsession.  Frugalcouponliving.com.

I started really using coupons just after Taylor was born.  For awhile I thought I had it down to a science, but quickly learned I was actually spending more because "it was a good deal."  I stocked up on so much we didn't need things for quite awhile once I slowed down.

After we moved to our current home (no less than 10 miles from the nearest grocery store) I really slowed down on looking at all the different stores and going to different places.  Gas cost too much to drive all over the place like I did when I was only 2 miles away.  

Well after reading Teale's blog and her success I got a renewed interest.  She told me about Frugalcouponliving.com and now I have lots to catch up on in trying to get back into the coupon game.  They had some really neat ideas there and I love saving money!

ok. cloth diapers one day and coupons the next! two of my loves {i mean likes!}

seriously though. i do LOVE my bum genius pocket diapers. they are paul's favorites too. i need to bring you some rice paper. http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?products_id=702. it catches anything in the diaper, so there's little to no rinsing...flip and flush! when there's nothing to flush, i throw it in the dry bag and wash it with the diapers and reuse it a few times. i use kissaluvs fitted and imse vimse covers too. they are much cheaper, but if i had it to do over again, i'd spend a little extra up front on the bumGenius pockets.

coupons...combined w/ publix buy one get one free...saved almost 50% on the whole bill today! whoo hoo! have you looked at www.couponmom.com. that's another good site!

hope you have a great weekend! glad to know somebody else loves {i mean likes} cloth diapers and coupons too!

I love Frugal Coupon Living! I check it every day, sometimes multiple times per day! Ashley's system of coupon organization really helped me out. This Sunday being the first Sunday of the month will be a good week for coupon inserts!

Here are a few of my favorite sites...

Yes, I do "buy" specific coupons but it works very well for me!

I haven't checked out the website you referenced, but I used to have a HUGE coupon binder (for many years). I had to get rid of it once Will came along. It's a little difficult to shop with a baby/toddler in the cart and juggle a binder, too! I just switched back to my old, small accordion binder and it works well for me at this stage.

I'm glad cloth diapers work for you. Hopefully, my diapering days are nearing their end!
